How the Index works
The engine.
Andus Labs’ pattern database spans more than 200 documented patterns stalling enterprise AI adoption, drawn from client engagements, original research, and ongoing field observation.
The method.
Five independent analysts — risk strategist, field practitioner, technologist, cultural analyst, and organizational theorist — score every pattern across five dimensions: gravity, velocity, proximity, progression, and scale probability.
The output.
Quarterly releases. Patterns enter, escalate, and drop as conditions change.
